Sam Clemens would be proud. Looks formidable.

Not tested but perhaps you should be using rotate_object_local - so the rotation is in the plane’s own axis, rather than that of its parent.

Do you find that box pressed cigars burn similarly to round ones? Haven’t tried one yet. Seems like the corners could be fussy. On the other hand, fire.

Looks like a decent ninja turtle!

I’m gonna have to get on your gift recipient list! 😆

How was your experience? Both with Cuba and with the cigars?

Maybe nothing. The notion of ‘seasoning’ the pot, if that’s a thing at all, may be more relevant to the aluminum ones. Aside from the factory recommended initial 3 priming brews.

Just below valve. Tried several grinds, hot and cold starts. No significant effect.

BUT, as mentioned under other comment, watching Hoffman and Wired Gourmet’s vids helped a lot.

Apparently the default Mokka pot guidance just results in sub-par coffee. But probably good enough for casual drinkers.

I’m past the rubicon on coffee expectations though. It wasn’t cutting it for me.

Main thing seems to be stop brewing before you hit the famous sputtering gurgle. Either less water in or just stop the heat once you hit goal volume.

With optional fussiness around moving pot on/off heat to manage temperature and flow.

Fussy town. But that’s where I live.

Thanks, helpful. Hoffman mentions Wired Gourmet’s video (link 👇) which I also found helpful.

Initial experiment was a definite improvement.

I found this description - you agree? https://cigarandpipes.com/product/the-tabernacle-havana-seed-ct-cigars/

medium to full-bodied, using a blend of the highest quality Nicaraguan premium fillers in a Mexican San Andres binder then finished in a unique Cuban Havana Seed CT #142 wrapper. The culmination of this cigar blend is a full flavor blast of rich earthy notes of, sweet cedar, spice, and natural sweetness.

Do you have trouble with the button on your Fellow kettle? I’ve got that one too. I have to mash the button multiple times to get it on or off.
